Rahul Gandhi said, "PM Narendra Modi can only give bullets to the farmers of India. The monetary benefits he is giving to the rich and few of the country. He simply cannot pardon the debts of farmers."

He was taken into preventive custody by the police in Neemuch district which borders Rajasthan.

Before his detention, Gandhi charged the Narendra Modi government with writing off the loans of rich industrialists to the tune of Rs 1,50,000 crore but did not waive the loans of poor farmers.
